And this is really just the tip of the iceberg.

The continuing bailout of the banks and financial institutions is just a handout via Wall Street butt-boy Geithner. There's no real oversight. What corruption exists in the process is known about and desired by this administration. Main street can go fuck itself - the only way people will get help with their mortgages is if the banks can get another handout along the way. Credit card reforms? Don't hold your breath...

Obama never preached a single-payer healthcare plan. He always wanted to court the healthcare industry as it is today. In other words, Obama means to enshrine the current corrupt and comepletely broken healthcare system.

We're not really leaving Iraq. We are entering into Afghanistan. So Obama is another military-industrial complex styled warmonger. Natch! So much for hope for peace...

Obama is not progressive in any sense of the word. The people he picks are not at all progressive. The plans he wants to implement are not progressive. FWIW, he didn't run as a progressive either.

So we got exactly what was promised: a corporate cocksucker wholly sold out to the biggest multinationals. He pretends much and accomplishes little. It's reverse Robin Hood all the way: grandma is taxed to pay for bankster bonuses.

But this is not a failure of liberal or progressive policy. Progressives must distance themselves from Obama and admit that all they really did was vote against McCain.

The right rhetoric spills from Obama's lips for the most part. But he does not do the right things. His interests are perfectly aligned to those of his corporate masters.

We are in Mouseland:
